Miley Cyrus wasn’t always spreading her legs and getting covered in cash. She wasn’t always Twerking, her hair wasn’t always short and blonde and, heck, her name wasn’t always Miley Cyrus. The 20-year old singer posted a new photo to Twitter last night, although it’s really a very old photo of her as an elementary school student in Nashville, back when her first name was “Destiny” and long before her first wrecking ball ride . What prompted the cute release? It’s unclear. She didn’t include a caption. But it would be nearly impossible for Cyrus to pose any more shocking photos at this point. We’ve seen her in ever conceivable pose, position and outfit. So perhaps she simply wanted to find a new way to keep everyone talking about her . It’s working, isn’t it?
Former spouses Britney Spears and Kevin Federline reunited over the weekend at youngest son Jayden James’ soccer game in Woodland Hills, Calif. It really is amazing … this guy slept with her at least two times. Britney Spears, Kevin Federline Reunite The 31-year-old ” Work Bitch ” songbird looked casual in a red turtleneck, skinny jeans, oversized sunglasses, and her hair pulled back in a messy bun. Federline was joined by his daughter, Kori, with Shar Jackson. The couple, who married in 2004 and split in 2006, appeared to be on friendly terms. They stood next to each other, watching the game from the sidelines. There appeared to be tension last month regarding their other son Sean Preston, joining Britney Spears on stage during her upcoming Vegas residency. Federline was not a fan of that idea, but the pop star’s reap later said she was merely “joking” about the possibility of the boy accompanying her on stage. Glad they’re doing well in any case. K-Fed recently married Victoria Prince , with him he also has a new baby. Counting his two with Shar, he’s got five in all. Virile. That is how we would sum up Kevin Federline.

Check it out now, as all your favorites – from Han to Luke to Leia to Chewbacca – are featured below. (NOTE: It’s not your computer. The opening few scenes lack sound.) Star Wars Blooper Reel
This is why we love Kanye West: raw, brutal honesty. We also love him because he rants about racism and fashion and the drug of Yeezus… but back to that honesty thing. Asked during an interview on Power 106 yesterday if he and Kim Kardashian will televise their wedding, the rapper freely admitted: sure, maybe. If the price is right! Kanye West and Kim Kardashian: We’re All About Money! “What’s official for everybody in this room and everybody on this globe right now is them bills,” Kanye said like only he can. “Me and Kim are in the exploitation business. We get paid to exploit ourselves.” Thank you, ‘Ye! Could you ever imagine Kim being so straightforward? West went on to explain that he’s protective of daughter’s North West’s privacy. But he’ll also give her to chance to choose for herself someday just how much she wants to be in the spotlight. “I’m [going to] give my daughter the opportunity to choose when she wants to be exploited,” he said. “That’s the reason we didn’t take any money for any baby pictures.” Kanye also compared himself to Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson during the long chat and decreed that he’s a “Christian revolutionary visionary products person,” while saying there may be “fighter jets” at his wedding. As for his proposal to Kardashian ? “I wanted to marry that girl from the first time I saw her, and I just had to wait through a bunch of relationships to finally get my chance,” he said, adding that he thought popping the question at AT&T Park in San Francisco “would be dope.” And it definitely was, we must admit. Have you seen the official Kim Kardashian engagement video ? West also said the ring he handed over to Kim was barely four hours old at the time of the proposal and that he was “nervous” to get down on one knee. But he’s also thrilled with how it all went down. “I gotta apologize to the race of males for turning it up so much,” he said of setting the proposal bar so high for boyfriends going forward. Again, this is why we love Kanye West.
Earlier this month, Camille Grammar was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and immediately underwent a radical hysterectomy. According to this Bravo star, however, things actually got worse from there: Camille alleges that boyfriend Dimitri Charalambopoulos struck her in the face in a Houston hotel room, just four days after this procedure. Radar Online sources say Camille will be filing a police report against her now-ex-boyfriend in response. “Things between them had been bad for awhile,” an insider says of Charalambopoulos and Grammer, who start dating in 2011. She reportedly ended their relationship over Dimitri’s “antics,” a clearly understandable move if this claim is accurate. Camille herself hinted at major trouble yesterday in a series of Tweets. “Info will come out today that is jaw dropping. And women can’t be silenced after being physically abused!” she wrote, adding: “Getting my strength back now that I am at home and wasn’t able to deal with talking about it after my cancer surgery or what had happen.” Grammar later told a follower that she “was in fear for [her] life” during the incident and that she has been working with lawyer and the police over the past few days. “This man should be behind bars,” she wrote of Charalambopoulos, who has not yet commented on his ex-girlfriend’s allegations.
Don Jon, the first feature from Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is not like most films, but that helps make the actor’s debut behind the camera all the more charming. Gordon-Levitt directed, wrote and stars as a Jersey lothario, a regular, old-school, how-YOU-doin’ guy who happens to be a hardcore porn addict. Yes, he’s a man dedicated to family, friends, and church, yet develops unrealistic expectations from porn and works to find intimacy with a true love interest. Don Jon Trailer Can he and Barbara (Scarlett Johansson) live happily ever after? And does this romantic comedy (of sorts) flourish despite of (or because of) its unusual premise? Let’s see what the Don Jon reviews are saying … “While addiction may make Jon sound like a bummer, as played with great swagger and subterranean wit by the movie’s writer and director, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, this improbable charmer conveys convincingly triumphant braggadocio.” – The New York Times “Sure, it’s an obvious point and one that’s not new. Several recent films have dealt with the delicate subject of porn addiction, and the dehumanization that stems from it. But Gordon-Levitt enlivens Don Jon with such a sense of swagger, as a director, writer and actor, that the film feels fresh.” – Kansas City Star “Really, Don Jon could have – should have – gone on another 20 minutes. Then again, when was the last time you felt that about a romantic comedy? Or any movie? That Don Jon even disappoints a little at the end is a sign of how much it promises from the beginning. And how much potential its filmmaker clearly has.” – The New Jersey Star-Ledger “Johansson gives one of her best performances as the bossy, gum-chewing Jersey girl determined to change Jon into her image of a romantic hero. Tony Danza and Glenne Headly are hilarious as Jon’s parents. Gordon-Levitt proves he can act, write and direct with equal dexterity.” – USA Today “As writer and director, Gordon-Levitt succeeds in shaping a message about two colliding views of romance that are shaped by distinctly different media and cultural notions.” – The San Jose Mercury-News “Gordon-Levitt is savvy, as well, about our modern mediated culture: The TV screens braying in every room, the ads that use swimsuit models to sell hamburgers, the smartphone from which Jon’s sister never lifts her eyes unless absolutely necessary. Who can blame Jon for choosing the clickable fantasy over messy reality?” – The Boston Globe “Gordon-Levitt is wearing his heart on his sleeve for the audience to see … there is something wholeheartedly soul baring about the entire artistic process put forth by the filmmaker and star that it is riveting on so many levels.” – Movie Fanatic
Autumn is upon us and it’s growing a bit chilly in various parts of the country. But on the big screen, starting today, it’s Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs! 2! Yes, a sequel to the original hit – which was based on a wildly popular children’s book – is now in release at a theater near you. Should you take your kids to a showing? Check out the trailer below and then scroll down for a collection of movie reviews from critics around the nation: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 Trailer Honestly, anyone who can pull off a running joke about leeks that does not make you gag, and is in fact a silly delight, deserves props. – The Los Angeles Times It’s another brightly rendered effort, but, as the title indicates, a lot of the real creativity seems to have been used up the first time around. – The Boston Globe Sometimes so strange, colorful and wildly cute that it may end up becoming a “Yellow Submarine” for a new generation. – The New York Times There’s not a surprise or moment of tension to be found here, but the film is all energy and color that makes the discomfort of 3-D glasses seem worth it. – USA Today It’s cute. It’s funny. Kids will want the toys in a major way. And yet it slightly unsettles me precisely because of how strange the message is by the end of the film. – HitFix A second helping of sugar rush cinema, wholly dependent upon food puns and pretty colors whizzing by. But it’s the only chance for small children to drag parents to the movies until November, so knock yourself out, kiddies. – The Tampa Bay Times
Teresa Giudice is desperate to get in. And Caroline Manzo just got out.

Joyce Giraud and Carlton Gebbia are officially in. And Taylor Armstrong is officially out. Six weeks prior to the premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 4 , E! News confirms that this controversial reality star has been given the boot from the Bravo franchise. “Taylor is not returning as a Housewive,” a source tells E!. “You’ll see her here and there in a few scenes, but that will be the extent of her participation.” Armstrong has been a cast member since 2010, but found herself in the middle of major controversy two years ago after her estranged husband committed suicide… and yet Bravo forged ahead with new episodes, including this in which Russell Armstrong appeared. Taylor is now engaged to John Bluher and wedding planning is taking up most of her time. “Taylor’s been filming, but barely,” an insider added to E!. “And she’s no longer on salary. Her current deal is pay-for-play. She only gets paid for the days that she shoots. As of now, that hasn’t been a lot.” The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills returns on November 4.
